Whats V/P?

I keep forgetting all the abbreviations. It’s always short hand with his response. It’s Ok if you can remember them.

Have to disagree with this statement. A local guy had no problems running 240 psi in 87 pump fuel. Granted he was not the ordinary guy on a forum but a well accomplished tuner who pushed the boundaries of combustion but still he would often state that people run too high an octane fuel for the cylinder pressure they run. There's more to detonation than just octane numbers.

On this and most forums, the way I see it, I’m most likely dealing with people that are average tuners and that would be at best at times considering the questions being asked. Above average guys already know. With that said, my answers given are thoughts on the simple KISS method rather than possibly get the guy into trouble.

I’d rather suggest something easier or less powerful than run on the edge of their knowledge or push the power potential and have them upset when things don’t go well or run right. In the end, it’s more helpful to the new guy or novice and sometimes, even the intermediate gearhead.

This isn’t meant to be rude, insulting or diminish the person’s intelligence but just to help a guy out so they can enjoy the ride and get motoring on down the road. That’s where they’ll be happiest.

It beats throwing a wrench and pinging while they drive.
